The engine was just purring along w/o any hint of trouble. drove from Ca. to St. Louis, then on the way back in the middle of Nv. she came apart.

Iam not sure if this was any indication of anything leading up to the chain break. but when we first would start it, I could hear a sort of a ticking or kind of like a raggy belt having a piece maybe hitting something down on the lower right side. best way I can descripe it. when it warmed up the sound would go away. guess I will never know.
That was my $6000.00 chain.
